On Sunday, July 15 at approximately
9 p.m., a contractor was excavating on
private property in Ranch Market and
ruptured a local water line.
They had hired a contractor (and)
theyre working on a new facility down
there at the Ranch Market site, said Jes-
se Parker, director of Engineering and
Operations for the Town of Strathmore,
they had started construction in that
area and were excavating and werent
aware or hadnt located a water line
within the development.
When they then began excavation they
hit, and damaged the water line. When
damage is done to a water line in an
open excavation, like the one in Ranch
Market, the water in the line speeds up.
The velocities pick up within the dis-
tribution system and then that stirs up
some sedimentation and things along
those lines within the pipe system, said
Parker Its not atypical for us, when we
have a break or when we have an im-
pact on the distribution system, to see
some discolouration in the water as a
result. Luckily the change of the wa-
ters colour is the only effect the pub-
lic may notice from this break. After the
pipe was ruptured, the contractor called
EPCOR who worked to isolate the pipe
from the main water line as quickly as
possible.
They were successful [in isolating
the pipe], said Parker, however it took
some time because the contractor didnt
have drawings of the site plan on hand.
It took about an hour or so to locate the
valves to terminate that line in particu-
lar. This type of water main break is not
uncommon and, because of its location
on private property there is not much
the town can do to prevent these inci-
dents.
If theyre, say on private property,
and [the contractors] dont have accu-
rate drawings of the location of the wa-
ter mains and things along those lines,
sometimes well have water mains get
struck by contractors doing work; so
thats whats happened in this case, said
Parker the town wouldnt have located
this line for the contractor because it
was on private property.

The ffth generation Tower Ranch-
es family farm was the recipient of
the 2012 BMO Farm Family represent-
ing Wheatland County. It is nestled in
the heart of East Wheatland in a pic-
turesque scene of canola felds and
grazing cattle.
In 1905 Addison Sylvester Tower
Jr. came to Canada from Lincoln, Ne-
braska by cattle train to fnd himself
homesteading a few kilometres
north and west of Gleichen. His son
Richard who passed it on to Terry,
whose son Curtis farms alongside
him now, succeeded him. Daughter
Aerin (Tower) Wheeler and husband
Toby are partners in their century old
Wheeler Farm operation celebrated
1908-2008.
The farming operation has been a
father/son succession since its in-
ception in 1906. The present family
of 2012 is Terry Tower with his wife
Brenda (nee Hayes) along with son
and daughter-in-law Curtis and Brandi
Tower who share the yard with fve
out of a total seven grandchildren on
the family farm.
The Towers have about 2,500 acres
in crops, divided more or less equally
among wheat, barley and canola.
Basically, were totally dry-land
farming, said Terry, who followed the
normal practice of summer-fallowing
half his land until his son returned
from school.
Terry and Brenda, besides farming
in the Gleichen community, are no

Sometime this past weekend a
string of robberies took place across
Strathmore. The local Home Hard-
ware, Strathmore Building Supplies
and UFA were affected. As it is still
under investigation, not much infor-
mation has been released on the bur-
glaries, but allegedly the perpetrator
hot-wired the Home Hardware fork-
lift in order to steal lumber from both
Strathmore Building Supplies and
UFA.
I got my forklift back, said Perry
Banadyga, owner of Home Hardware.
I went down to UFA and drove it
back home.
The culprits seem to have left it
there after the theft. Besides the fork-
lift, nothing else appears to be miss-
ing at Home Hardware.
[We havent] noticed anything thus
far, said Banadyga, though it is too
early in the case to be sure. The RCMP
and the stores are working to fnd out
what exactly happened that night.
More information will be released as
the investigation continues.
String of Robberies
strangers to hard work and communi-
ty involvement. They have been active
members in the Gleichen and district
communities, members of the local
4-H clubs and other youth organiza-
tions. They still continue with strong
volunteer input in the communities of
Gleichen, Cluny and Strathmore.
Terry is past president of the Agri-
cultural Society, Arena Board and High
School Rodeo Association, past secre-
tary of the Gleichen Lions Club and
past member of the Masonic Lodge.
He was one of the founding members
of the Rural Fire Department, and is
still a member of the Gleichen (now
Strathmore Royal Canadian) Legion. In
his spare time he thoroughly enjoyed
managing the Gleichen Old Timers
Hockey Team for twenty years.
Brenda Tower has been, and still is,
just as busy having held many leader-
ship positions in the various commu-
nity organizations. She was an integral
part in the introduction in organiz-
ing the E.C.S. into the GHSD/Glei-
chen, Cluny Elementary School. Past
president of the Gleichen and District
Figure Skating Club, Parent Advisory
Committee, High School Rodeo Di-
rector and 4-H leader position in the
Gleichen/Cluny sewing club. She was
past president of St. Andrews Angli-
can Church and still sits on the Ves-
try Board of the Church. Brenda was
the area coordinator on the Wheatland
Further Education Board and remains
secretary of the Gleichen and Dis-
trict Fair Committee and is a certifed
judge with the Alberta Association of
Agriculture Society, judging at many
neighbouring community fairs and
4-H achievement days.
The Towers are blessed with a won-
derful family of daughter Aerin with
son-in-law Toby who has two boys
Will and Devin. A son Curtis with wife
Brandi and their fve children Spencer,
Alexis, Danica and 4-month-old twins
Callie and Brianna.
In July 2007, all immediate fam-
ily members gathered for a family re-
union and the celebration of 100 years
in operation of the farm. They were
awarded honors from the Provincial
and Municipal governments. In honor
of the occasion they hosted a BBQ
beef supper to celebrate with family
and friends.
Our good fortune and success has
been a direct result of hard work and
honest parents, and it was the gen-
erations before us that have given us
this opportunity. Our future goals and
plans for the farm are to maintain an
active, thriving farm for many genera-
tions to follow, said Towers.
Oldest grandson Spencer stated in
a matter of fact, I am a farmer too.
Much to the delight of everyone that
he was proud of his heritage that was
instilled in him by example of his Dad
and Grandpa.
Terry and son Curtis are perusing
modern agricultural practices in their
operation and continue to be active
and productive in their farming en-
deavors.

Looking for something to do with the whole family this
weekend? Head over to Langdon and participate in the an-
nual Langdon Days celebration held July 20 - 22.
Its a celebration of the community thats been set up and
its a community fundraiser to help pay for sports teams, and
recreation, said Chrissy Craig, one of the volunteer organiz-
ers.
The slo-pitch tournament is kind of a big part of it and
thats what started was just a slow pitch tournament and
then its developed into this huge, huge event.
Everything begins at 4 p.m. on Friday when the Macs
street team Froster Truck comes out. The vendors village
opens at 5 p.m. and slo-pitch begins at 6 p.m.
Saturday is the day guaranteed to keep the whole family
entertained.
Saturday is the one with the most activities because all of
the family activities are on Saturday. Theres a kid carnival
and family wagon rides and the slo-pitch tournament and all
that sort of stuff, said Craig.
Im most excited for the kids carnival because I think its
going to be a lot more for the kids to do this year than just
the one set of bouncy castles. I think more of the community
will be able to access it and use it. I think it should be fun,
the whole thing should be fun actually,
New this year said Craig is there is just one price to get
into the childrens carnival and that price gives access to all
of the activities.
The only thing that is extra is the pony rides and thats
just due to insurance, said Craig.
Other things that are new are is we have new food ven-
dors this year, so we have a couple of different vendors and
theres a couple of different bands in the beer gardens. We
have a band on Friday night and Saturday night.
Saturday night will wrap up with freworks. For the adults,
and players in the slo-pitch tournament there are the beer
gardens open all three days. On Friday night people can see
High Stepping Daddy, and on Saturday night Higher Ground
will be keeping the crowd entertained. Wristbands are only
$10 for the evening.

Rosebud Fire Association Chief Rich-
ard Zachariassen presented council
with concerns from Rockyford, Rose-
bud, Cluny and Dalum fre depart-
ments, to additions added by county
staff on their fnancial accounting tem-
plate.
This has been ongoing since March
28 and we havent got a template
drawn up. We were supposed to have
our forms in by the end of June and
that is way past. Now it will be Septem-
ber before we get access to our funds,
said Zachariassen.
In support of our staff, I dont think
they are not trying to force anything
on anybody, said Councillor Ben Arm-
strong
The original template, approved by
council on July 5, was discussed and
accepted at a meeting with the various
fre departments; however, staff said
there was some confusion because
notes recorded from the meeting were
different on the fre department copies
and staff copies.
Staff had added a second year break-
down to the template, so that compari-
son fgures can clearly be seen. They
also included an optional cash fow
tool that would help the department
keep track of their fnances. Excel pro-
grams are being set up for departments
to record their statements.
In all the non-proft organizations I
have been involved witha fnancial
statement is standard practice, said
Councillor Brenda Knight.
We agreed on this template and
feel additions should not put through
without us seeing them. It is confus-
ing about what is required and what is
a tool for use. We can probably work
with it. Those who dont work on Ex-
cel, it is a little more diffcult, said
Zachariassen.
Council noted that two departments
utilized the old forms prior to the sug-
gested revisions and had already been
paid.
This is affecting the trust with our
fre departments. I suggest that we
pay them in good faith. Old statements
from other departments are in but this
one is a work in progress, said Reeve
Glen Koester.
No more delays. We have been fght-
ing for this for I dont know how long.
If we are going to show trust we cant
be going back and forth. As far as I
am concerned lets move forward, said
Councillor Ben Armstrong.
Suggestions to move forward were:
Provide a second staff person at
fre meetings to help with recording
duties
Fire departments will complete the
accepted July 5 template and staff will
fll in the 2010 fnancials requested on
the addition for this year. Subsequent
years the fre department will be re-
sponsible to fll in all the information,
with the Cash Flow template use at
their discretion.
Notify all departments of the ad-
dition
Requested signed copies that each
department agrees to the template

launched with a ribbon cutting cer-
emony, the Strathmore off- leash dog
park seems to be a hit with both the
dogs and their human families.
Our Lab is older and has lower
energy, said Lori Thompson-Klauck.
But when we bring him to the park,
his energy level goes up. Its so nice
to see his playful side.
Thompson-Klauck has two dogs.
Lucky was adopted as a pup from the
Humane Society, and they also have
two-and-a-half year old Mohawk.
Thompson-Klaucks 13-year-old
son also loves the park. The bud-
ding shutter bug likes to shoot photo-
graphs of funny and amusing things
the dogs do during their off leash re-
cess periods.
Dawn Forsyth Green brings her
Boston terrier Toffey to the park to
get off leash and socialize. Forsyth
Green thinks the park is great but
suggested improvements to the park
should include keeping the grass
shorter, doing ice maintenance in the
winter and adding a paved pathway
for moms with strollers.
Dave Rimes of the Strathmore Parks
Department said equipment problems
delayed mowing the grass this year.
Usually the grass is mowed around
fve times a year.
For the moment, said Rimes, there
are no plans for a paved pathway or
ice maintenance in the winter.
Benches and picnic tables are use-
ful and its great the Town supplies
poop bags, said Forsyth Green.
To date this year, the Town has sup-
plied 10,000 poop bags. Most of the
bags are used in the dog park and
cost just under three cents apiece.
There are no plans yet for a second
off-leash dog park, said the Rimes,
but if there is a second park it would
probably be located in the north part
of town.
Usage of the current park will drive
a requirement for a second one, said
Rimes.
Unfortunately there isnt a water
source at the park. Its something that
was looked at by the Town but there
was no land available with a little
stream or any sort of water running
through it.
More often than not, said Forsyth
Green, some kind dog owners bring
water to the park to keep the contain-
ers full.
The off-leash dog park is located di-
rectly to the north of the west end
of Slater Road. The four-acre parcel of
land is leased from the Western Irri-
gation District (WID).
The park is a very positive part
of town, said Councillor Bob Sobol,
whose miniature schnauzer is in-
timidated by other dogs. Whenev-
er I drive by the park, there are cars
parked there.

Steves grandparents moved from Poland to Wi-
nona, Minnesota in the 1890s, and started a con-
struction business. However, in the early 1900s,
both the Canadian Government and Canadian
Pacifc Railway, were advertising cheap land in
Saskatchewan and Alberta (as previous articles
have referred to).
So, they moved to Courval, Sask. in
1909. Steve was born there in the 1940s,
the youngest sibling of a family of six
children. He had three sisters and two
brothers.
Back in those days, there was no
means of communication, and roads
were mainly in very poor shape, so his
mother was transported to the nearest
hospital quite early. Steve was born on
September 30, 1946, but because of the state of
the roads, it took a month to get back home. The
rest of the family were sure surprised when Steve
showed up with his mother that fall.
His father kept a daily diary, mainly for keeping
track of weather conditions, but there is an entry
for the 30th of October stating I now have a new
son called Steve.
That is the only reference, and then it returns to
entries regarding the weather! His father served
with the RCAF during WWII, and following his
discharge in 1946 returned to the mixed farm in
Saskatchewan.
When Steve grew older, he used to spend the
winter months in Alberta working in the oil
patch, but summers were always spent in South-
ern Saskatchewan mixed farming with one of
his elder brothers. They were one of the frst to
import what was then classed as exotic cattle to
Canada Charolais.
Steve took one of the frst artifcial insemina-
tion courses available in the early 1960s, and fol-
lowing graduation as an A.I. Technician, joined
Prairie Breeders stud farm south of Calgary. As
he became more profcient, the farm formed an
A.I. Company and it was Steves job to teach A.I.
Technology across Canada, North America and
eventually around the world.
This company was one of the frst to conduct
pregnancy testing on cows. They marketed bull
semen, and it was Steves job to select bulls in the
U.K. and Europe for import to Canada. Through-
out this time, he met many members of royalty
namely Prince Philip and Prince Charles as well
as heads of Government dating back to President
Nixon.
He spent his time travelling the world, in this
business, and continues to believe the
best education a son or daughter can ob-
tain is to travel the world before settling
down.
Steve married Judy in 1975 and they
have two children son Ryan who is
married to Carie, and works as a Captain
with a major airline. They are expecting
their frst child in October. Steve and
Judy also have a daughter Karie who is
married to Glen, and have two children.
Steve moved to Strathmore in the spring of
1978, and at the time was selling commercial and
residential real estate. Other business interests
included a security locksmith company and mini
storage. In 1979 he was named Mr. Strathmore,
the very frst person to receive this honour. For
this, he won a trip to Las Vegas.
In 1980, he won a trip to Hawaii as a prize in a
raffe being run in his hometown at Courval, who
were raising funds for the school.
He and Judy, were having breakfast at their ho-
tel one morning, when a US nuclear submarine
surfaced just off shore, right in front of them.
Sailors started ferrying between the beach and
the submarine, in what appeared to be a crew
change. Steve told Judy he planned to be on
board the sub by 4 p.m. that afternoon!! And, be-
ing the good talker that he is he was!
In 2005, he decided to retire and sold both of
his businesses. At the time he was an Executive
of The Strathmore and District Ag Society, and
became General Manager soon after.
In 2010, he was approached by many friends
who pointed out that as hed already served
on most boards and executive positions in and
around Strathmore, he should run for mayor. As
we know he won handily, and has since put our
town on the map, in many, many ways.

Former Crossfeld rodeo Queen Becca Walters
is going to be wearing the crown and sash for
Strathmore Heritage Days this year. Walters was
the Crossfeld Queen from 2008-2009 and became
the Queen after showing interest in the Heritage
Days lack of royalty.
I was talking to Darcy (Ledene), the
general manager (of the Strathmore Ag
Society) and Pascal (Del Guercio, Rodeo
& Chuckwagon Chairman) about bringing
the royalty back, because its such a big
part of the rodeo, said Walters. The short-
age of volunteers to run the pageant com-
mittee was the reason for the shut down
of the program approximately ten years
ago.
They used to have a committee but they kind
of ran out of people to run the royalty commit-
tee, so I brought up to them that I would help
them out, running it. So they kind of appointed
me Miss Strathmore Stampede this year, just to
go around to all the different functions and ro-
deos to promote the town and [the Strathmore]
Stampede, said Walters. This year Walters will be
jumping into her rodeo duties with both feet, rep-
resenting Strathmore at other rodeos as well as
helping out at the Strathmore Stampede. Shell be
working with other royalty, Miss Rodeo Canada,
in the arena.
During the rodeo Ill be pushing cattle out with
her, so well be working together a bit during the
rodeo doing that, said Walters. As she was ap-
pointed late, she was unable to organize as much
as she wanted to.
This year, because its so last minute, Im still
trying to get sponsors and everything,
trying to help out with travel expenses
and all that, said Walters. But she looks
forward to next year when she will have
more time on her hands to fully organize
the pageant and all that goes with it.
In the new year [Im going] to start the
pageant up again, so that it can be open
to other girls for next year, so that theyre
able to run, said Walters. She also looks
forward to the new year and being able to
organize charity work through the future Strath-
more Stampede Queens.
It would be ideal to pick [a charity] that may not
have as much promotion, Walters said, It would
be good to fnd one that doesnt get promoted as
much as other ones do, just so their name can get
out there as well.
As Heritage Days is right around the corner,
Walters has a lot to plan, but her queen duties
dont worry her too much.
Its a lot of fun, she said.

Fule for Thought
I just turned 52 on Monday the 16th. I felt pretty
good until I realized thats the age Shakespeare was
when he died! People didnt live as long then (crazy
Black Plague)! The day made me think back to yes-
teryear when I was a young lad in Elementary. I
was about to learn life lessons unexpectedly!
When I was a kid in Canmore Elementary, recess
was a huge deal. This was true for every kid, except
for Timmy (fake name). Well, recess was good for
him too, except for a few strange days.
Each day, the bell would ring, and out would race
the throngs on kids to hit recess, and hit it HARD!
Timmy was like the rest of us, but he was also a cool
kid, who played hockey. I mention this, to show that
embarrassment can hit anyone, at any time. It is very
diffcult to describe the coming events delicately,
but I will try.
On the tarmac at recess for just a few short days,
Timmy faced his nemesis a mutt of a dog. This
dog had taken it in its head that he REALLY liked
Timmy. He would run through the mass of kids, and
fnd him. Why he chose Timmy, we never knew,
however, we WERE glad that he did.
When he did track down Timmy, he would happily
jump him! Im sorry, Readers (all 12 of you!) but it
is hard to be delicate here. This mutt would jump
Timmy and show just how much he REALLY liked
him! Thats it kids, this dog would hump Timmys
leg!
It would have its way with Timmy and wed
scatter so we wouldnt be next! I know, youre prob-
ably asking how could you leave a pal, but hey
its like when the chopper arrives in war, theres
only room for so many soldiers, and Timmys too
badly wounded we had to leave him behind!
As soon as he could, Timmy would break away, and
run to the doors. It got so that hed lost his love for
recess he wouldnt go out. We had no choice, we
HAD to convince Timmy to come out anyway
we NEEDED him out there! Three different morn-
ings this would happen, and then suddenly the dog
stopped coming to school. Timmy was relieved, un-
til every now and then someone would do his best
dog bark and wed see Timmy finch!
My Hungarian dad was very old School when
it came to teaching me life lessons. One evening,
when I was about 10, he noticed me watching in-
tently as he smoked. As a loving father, he mustve
been worried that Id try it. So, he went to the kitch-
en cupboard and brought out a small package.
Here, if you want to smoke, try one.
I was surprised, but I did what he said. Cool, Id
see what the fuss is about, and be more grown-up!
However, my dads teaching method involved giv-
ing me an old, dry Hungarian cigarette. I did not
know this as he lit it up for me. It was strange how
so few puffs could cause so much damage! It was
horrible! I couldnt breathe right I couldnt seem
to shake the horrible taste from my mouth. It tasted
like feet mixed with manure! I looked to him for
help, his answer was laughter. Wow, how could he
have done this to me wasnt I his youngest son,
arent you supposed to be able to trust your dad? Of
course these thoughts hit me as I was sprinting to
the bathroom!
I thought I was going to die, and maybe for a split
second I did (I know I saw a bright light I wanted
to go to it)! Before I knew it, I was doubled over the
toilet heaving and retching! Everything seemed to
come out of every part of me how could a few
puffs of one LOUSY cigarette have so much power?
I never smoked again of course it was also hard
to trust dad again! Thank God, he didnt try to teach
me to swim!
Theres nothing better for Elementary aged boys
than a lesson on etiquette! Our teacher was teach-
ing us the proper way to pick up a girls pencil from
the foor, if we were in a desk.
You get up, and carefully walk to the pencil, re-
trieve it, return it, then quietly sit back down, she
said as she pointed to me! Yeah right, I thought, as
she placed the pencil just beside my desk. I had my
own idea, and I casually sweeped my arm down and
to the pencil. The next thing I saw, was the ceiling,
and then laughing faces, as I fipped myself out of
my desk and onto the foor! It was almost like Gym-
nastics! I thought the teacher would join in, but no,
she told me to get off the foor, back into my desk,
and do it right this time!
When youre a kid met with laughter, I always found
it was better to join, than get upset. The lesson I
DID learn that day was not to take short cuts, and
that you will make mistakes, so dont take things
too seriously! Who knew the teacher would help me
learn THAT lesson! Isnt school great?! Recess, dads,
and teachers helping us learn life lessons! Wow.

Letters to the editor
To the Editor
I have a few comments in regards to last weeks letter
to the editor about long weekend parties in the Town
of Strathmore.
Boys and girls, your neighbors can probably recog-
nize the smell of pot. Your neighbors shouldnt have to
worry that their drunken neighbors are going to burn
down a few houses.
They should not have to wonder when some intoxi-
cated individual is going to fall off the roof of a house
and land on their lawn. They should not have to watch
you relieve yourself a few feet away from their bed-
room windows and they should not have to pick up
your garbage from their own yards following the after-
math of your party.
They certainly should not have to get earplugs in
preparation for Heritage Days. I suggest all party plan-
ners visit the town website as information regarding
town bylaws can be found there and you will learn that
this town has a 24-hour noise bylaw.
You can be charged a fne up to $2,500 and so can
your landlord. Lest we not forget that the legal drinking
age in Alberta is 18. Now, I really cannot say if what I
have described is the kind of long weekend partying
that the author of last weeks letter chooses to engage
in.
However, the tone of his letter does suggest that he
has no respect for his small town neighbors. Its only a
matter of time before they wont be willing to tolerate
such juvenile behaviour and I would expect that his
neighbors would call the RCMP next time rather than
merely pray for rain.
Happy Upcoming Long Weekend,
Kristine Deisman
Strathmore

After the water rates changed last year Strathmore
was blessed with a relatively wet summer, making
watering the lawn not much of an issue. But now its
a new year and with the dry, hot summer days fnally
here how many people will deny their lawn and gar-
dens the H2O goodness they crave. For those who
have had to use water as an everyday part of their
business, they have noticed just how much the rates
have increased.
Theres nothing you can do about it. I have spoken
with Dwight (Stanford) and the Mayor because my
bill was really big, ridiculously big, at one point I got
a bill of $3,000 for six weeks of water. Before that I
was averaging about $1,500 for a two month period,
and that was kind of a big shock, said Anne Murphy
who owns Bubbles Laundromat with her husband.
She brought in three high effciency machines to
reduce water consumption. With the new machines
though, and the increased water rates she had to in-
crease her rates, which has cost her business.
Ours doubled so the only thing I could do to try to
reduce the amount of usage through the metre, was
by bringing in some new machines and increasing
my prices. We have lost quite a bit of business as a
result, said Murphy.
The costs have gone down a little bit as a result
of the new metre and the new machines, but they
are (the machines) $3,000 a piece so replacing every-
thing with new high effciency machines isnt it in the
cards in the short term.
In order to change everything to high effciency
machines she would need to replace 13 machines at
approximately $3,000 each.
A majority of the water we use is not drunk or
eaten, its mostly washed in or car washed or a bath.
Why do we spend millions on purifying this water to
the consumption level when...maybe we could have
two taps in the store, one for potable water and one
for not, said Murphy.
Strathmores Florist owner Brian Code has solved
his problem, but not without spending thousands of
dollars to do so. Though his bills have since gone
down, Code still strongly stands by his opinion that
the system in place has created a structural defcit.
We actually had a bill for a two month period that
was $3,500 that is quite literally a business killing
type of bill. We replaced one of the refrigeration units
and then waited for the next bill to come in and it
came in at almost $2,000. Then we replaced the other
compressor because if I keep these bills up I might as
well close my doors, said Code.
I think my main hang up about the whole issue
is weve built a structural defcit that were going
to have to pay through the nose for water forever,
and honestly from my point of view its because of
bad planning. My main argument there is that weve
lived in Strathmore for over 30 years now, in 30 years
the population has gone from 3,000 to 12,000, thats
9,000 people.
Why are we building a sewage system for 30,000
people when we could be 40 years before we get
there. What that basically means is as a business and
an individual Im going to have to exorbitant water
rates forever.
Another frustration for Code and his wife Linda is
the fact that in Strathmore water is being rationed,
yet in Calgary where the water is coming from, they
arent. Code also feels the development is set up to
block future development in the community. He isnt
sure why a water using business would come to town
now when the bills are so a high. A sentiment shared
by many residents and other business owners.
I strongly feel that the irrigation system was shut
down to force us onto the potable water system even
though environmentally speaking that was 100 per
cent better. I mean its been a total compromise to
pay for water mistakes, said Code.
Peter Klironomos who co-owns the Strathmore Sta-
tion and a number of other businesses in town is
happy with the quality of the water since switching
to the Calgary Regional Waterline.
The water is defnitely better, we dont have com-
plaints and we used to have complaints as far the wa-
ter goes. The water situation is defnitely better, but
the pricing has gone up, said Klironomos.
My partner and I have concerns, if someone wants
to move to Strathmore from Calgary you know hous-
ing is a little bit cheaper out here but if you have to
pay the extra taxes and extra water bills it offsets the
savings they might have of coming out here perhaps.
So were defnitely in favour of the water but it has
defnitely almost doubled.
Murphy had questioned if it was possible to have a
commercial rate set to help lower the costs a bit for
the businesses who do use water in everyday opera-
tions.
Whether youre commercial or residential were
asking people to be conscientious conservers of wa-
ter. I know that businesses have to have water but
they can also conserve. The bill has to be paid one
way or another if we give them a cut in their rate then
the residential would have to be higher, we want to
treat everybody equal, said Mayor Steve Grajczyk.
Were asking for conservation, were got to be
conscientious of conserving water. I go to Calgary
Regional Partnership meetings all the time and they
discuss water issues all the time and you know what
one of biggest concerns is of mine is that by the year
2050 there will be no winter water coming down the
bow river. Its drying up is a major issue here, I think
were just hit the tip of the iceburg as far as water
rates are concerned and it has nothing to do with me
or our council. Its just that weve got to conserve.
Grajczyk said the national average is 12.5 cubic me-
tres of water used per month in a household. He said
there are many people using 50 cubic metres per bill-
ing period in Strathmore.

Bob Tell told council of plans to hold
a fundraiser starting with a pancake
breakfast at Underground Performance,
Sept. 8 at 7:30 a.m., in Strathmore and
ending on a private acreage off Hwy. 1
on Sept. 9.
The weekend will include a poker run
that hits fve locations within the coun-
ty, a bike wash, 50/50 draws, live bands,
silent & live auctions, beer gardens, din-
ner and other contests. Proceeds sup-
port the Childrens Wish Foundation. It
is in its seventh year and last year made
close to $8,000 for the charity.
We have goatees and look a little
rough, but I have never met a nicer
bunch of people, said Tell.
Tell was asking council for grader
services along the acreage road to keep

the dust down for surround-
ing neighbours. He had lo-
cated a calcium chloride do-
nation from Lee Carmen out
of Brooks. They would mix
and apply the chemical if
the county could supply the
grader to fnish.
We had a few accidents
on the road last year, so I am
coming to get improvement
for the road this year, so that
doesnt happen, said Tell.
Council supported the re-
quest, as long as staff from
Public works was notifed
and staff could supervise the
roadwork.
They did want some reas-
surances that event organiz-
ers were aware of the resi-
dent concerns surrounding
the event.
They outlined noise con-
cerns, bike stunting on the
road, and safety issues for
adjoining residents.
I know bikers are thought
to be bad people, but this
event is for charity. We are
trying to run a clean show
and I hope we dont get any
complaints. No bikers with
colour or riff raff are being
let in, said Tell
Tell indicated that they
had changed the music from
heavy metal to a top 80s
band, security was on site,
adherence to county bylaws
were acknowledged.
Its important the work
you do. Its also important
that you leave the area the
way that you found it. So
that when you want to hold
it next year, incidents wont
come back to haunt you,
said Councillor Alice Booth.
Councillors thanked Tell
for coming in and letting
them know about the pro-
posed event.
Organizers are hoping for
good support and consid-
ering expanding the event
next year. Those interested
in the event can pre-register
through Underground Per-
formance @ 403-901-1000 or

Walking into Katys Consignment
Boutique is like being greeted by an
old friend. Katy herself is often there
smiling and happy, everything is neat-
ly displayed; its almost like walking
into a well-organized, giant closet.
It was just over a year ago that Katy
and her mom Betty partnered to buy
the store, which was formerly known
as Audreys Consignment. Buying a
store doesnt sound like much of a
feat but when you realize that Katy,
who has special needs, co-owns her
own business its something pretty
special.
Breaking down barriers
On June 28 Katy was awarded the
Individual Leadership Award by the
Calgary Region Community Board for
Persons with Developmental Disabili-
ties (PDD) Program.
The award is for individual leader-
ship and the reason she won is be-
cause she took the initiative, with me
of course, shes co-owner, and took on
this venture of this business in town
which is a very busy store, said Betty.
Shes made a lot of friends in the
last year, a lot of new acquaintances.
This award basically validates Katys
willingness to get out into the com-
munity and interact with people. We
have a lot of regular customers.
Both mom and daughter are board
members of the Hope Bridges Soci-
ety. It was Hope Bridges who initially
nominated Katy for the award.
Hope Bridges believes that every
person contributes to the well-being
of the community in which they re-
side, said Hope Bridges Chairman
Marvin Hilton in his nomination re-
quest letter.
The organization exemplifes re-
spect for all individuals, inclusion of
all peoples, and the worth of every
citizen in all areas of community life
regardless of age, ability or national-
ity.
At the beginning of opening the
boutique Katy had been helping with
pricing, re-organizing things, and
with the customers. A dream of Katys
had been learning how to work the
cash register and handling transac-
tions, something she now does fairly
regularly.
Katy has shown leadership by
working hard to pursue her dreams
and create her life path. Her actions,
both in her professional life and as
a volunteer, are inspirational to all
members of her community, Hilton
continued in the nomination letter.
Katy is infuencing community
views by breaking down barriers, and
challenging the norm. She is leading
a life of purpose, and serving oth-
ers through her dedicated volunteer
work.
It was really nice having people
nominate her and people in the com-
munity giving her references, said
Betty.
In the fall, Katy will have a chance
to win the Provincial Individual Lead-
ership Award with the PDD.
Katy Webster was nominated for, and won, the
individual Leadership Award presented by the
Persons with Developmental Disabilities Pro-
gram.

For the frst time ever, The Prostate
Cancer Centre and the Strathmore
Ag Society have teamed up to create
a country concert to raise awareness
and funds for cancer on August 2.
The event will be held at the Strath-
more AGRO Grandstand and outdoor
Encana stage, with the doors opening
at 6:30 p.m.
The concert boasts country musi-
cians Drew Gregory, Codie Prevost,
Hey Romeo and Crystal Shawanda as
well as a frework display to end the
night at 11 p.m.
Pam Heard, Executive Director at
the Prostate Cancer Centre, said that
in order to reach the rural commu-
nity they wanted to do something
with a splash. Heard said the location
couldnt be better.
With the Heritage Days beginning
the next day, Heard thinks a lot of
people will be, looking for things to
do with their family when the long
weekend begins.
We thought it would the perfect
place to bring these big acts to, Heard
said. This is our frst time ever doing
something like this. We really want to
reach the rural community.
Rob Shapiro, keyboard player, singer
and co-manager of the band Hey Ro-
meo, said that the band was thrilled to
be offered a part in the concert.
[Being involved with this concert] is
great. Any time you can be involved
with something that helps people or a
cause near to you ... we feel great that
we can contribute to that, or be some
small part of it, said Shapiro.
Drew Gregory, a local musician from
Standard, said he was very happy to
be asked to participate in the fund-
raiser.
It sounded like a good deal with all
the bands playing. Theres some good
acts there for sure.
We have the sponsorship now to
cover the costs ... nothing we make
will be going to cost, which is perfect,
said Heard.
There will also be a 50-50 draw at
the concert to raise money along with
ticket prices.
The only thing thats going to the
Ag society is the beer proceeds ... ev-
erything else is going to the Prostate
Cancer Centre in Calgary, says Heard.
The entertainment is a good way
to get corporate support behind the

event, said Shapiro, as long
as you have good entertain-
ment, people kind of fock.
Its being [well organized]
and I think thats really key.
Gregory said concerts are
great fundraisers because
people get a treat for donat-
ing.
People defnitely like to
give, but if they can have
fun at the same time, its a
good deal for them, said
Gregory.
Heard said the cancer cen-
tre will absolutely look at
doing this event again if it
goes well.
We would love to make
this an annual event, you
cant get much better acts
than these guys. If the
bands weve got engaged
now want to keep on with
the partnership, we would
defnitely stay with them.
Shapiro assures that if
they have [the concert], well
be there and has great ex-
pectations for the frst con-
cert. Weve got a couple of
songs we think will really
connect, we have a song
called If I Could Fly and it
is about dying and the sur-
vivors.
Gregory agrees that he
will defnitely be involved
with the concert again.
Strathmore has been awe-
some for me ... theyve giv-
en me a lot, to give some-
thing back to them is great,
says Gregory, who releasing
a new single titled Small
Town Life which is perfect
timing.
Tickets to this event are
priced at $30 for reserve

Having to care and worry for a loved
one is not easy. Laurie Mezaros is a lov-
ing daughter. She was very distressed
when she had to move her father into a
local facility.
I didnt want to move him, but I
couldnt care for his developing medi-
cal needs, said Mezaros.
He was a former air traffc controller,
active and spry. He was diagnosed with
developing dementia combined with
other medical problems, which led to
the decision to move him from Lauries
home to a long-term facility. Mezaros
said it was the hardest decision shes
ever had to make, but knew she could
no longer care for his medical needs
without help. She visits regularly and
often shares meals with her father.
It was while keeping an eye on her
fathers care, she developed concerns
about the food served at Sagewood,
a Continuing Care facility located in
Strathmore.
Its awful. My dad just looks at the
food and pushes it away and I dont
blame him, Mezaros said about a sup-
per she shared with her father.
She was concerned that recent issues
concerning the Alberta Health Services
21 day menu were happening to ev-
eryone at her fathers facility. She ad-
dressed those concerns in a letter to the
editor in the Strathmore Times.
I wish she would have come to us
frst, said Sagewoods manager Amil
Rajani.
Rajani encourages residents, family
members, and staff to make sugges-
tions and bring complaints to the at-
tention of management. There is a form
and process for written complaints with
a structured resolution and follow-up
procedure in place. There are sugges-
tion boxes, individual and monthly resi-
dent meetings, and town hall meetings
to make recommendations. Rajani con-
frmed that staff or residents who make
complaints would not be penalized for
coming forward. Mezaros did not know
the process and she had not known she
could contact Rajani.
The residents are very verbal at these
meetings, said Rajani. Everything that
comes up is an opportunity to look into
and improve. We, altogether, make this
place better and better every day.
The Government of Alberta, in the
licensing standards procedure manual,
sets out guidelines for facilities regu-
lar complaint resolution and a yearly
review is done for license renewal. On
Provincial Resident Satisfaction Surveys
on nutrition and menu lists, Strathmore
senior facilities are at a 97 per cent or
more satisfaction rate, given by resi-
dents regarding the food they receive.
Representatives from AgeCare and
managers at the Sagewood facility ad-
dressed the allegations of poor food, in
a meeting with local press and subse-
quently met with Mezaros.
When we look at the videos, there
is a negative mentality out there. There
are people with AgeCare and with
other companies that work very hard
to care for elders. I dedicate my whole
day to constantly fxing and improving.
We have a very caring staff. Our culture

is that we treat the people in here as
our parents and grandparents, said Jim
Held, Director of Hospitality Service
and Environment.
They wanted to clarify that AgeCare
chooses to serve fresh made food; the
food is not microwaved frozen din-
ner combos trucked in daily. Aramark
Healthcare coordinates the food deliv-
ery and supplies like frozen meat packs,
dry goods, and vegetables are ordered
from Sysco Foods, similar to restaurants
and hospitality services. Orders are
delivered twice a week. Reassurances
were given by Held that all AgeCare fa-
cilities prepare the food fresh in their
onsite commercial kitchen facilities. He
said that AgeCare is moving from the
traditional hospital oriented food deliv-
ery model to one based on the hospi-
tality industry, to meet expectations of
their residents. Held qualifed that the
assistants serving the food often have
previous backgrounds serving in hospi-
tal environments.
Everything we serve here is from
scratch. Everything that is ordered is
for scratch, said Russel Janzen, Ara-
marks Alberta District Manager.
Rajani said Sagewoods program in-
corporates regular individual and group
meetings to discuss any issues at the
home, including suggestions for a 28-
day menu that is posted for residents
to see. There are always two meals to
choose from at any sitting. If there is
a particular food that is unacceptable
to a resident, the resident can request
a different substitute be made from the
same food group. On initial intake as-
sessment, a residents health concerns
are identifed. Binders are kept at the
serving stations, with records of resi-
dents food restrictions. Servers moni-
tor and adjust the meal to meet those
restrictions. Condiments are provided
for those without restrictions to use
at will. Extra servings of food are also
available.
A representative from the press did
a taste test at lunchtime and ate along
with other seniors in the home. It was
confrmed in that instance, the choice
of two different food plates was plen-
tiful and good tasting, but some im-
provements to presentation could have
been made.

Continued from Page 20
Held admitted that the area of food
presentation, there needed improve-
ment. During a tour of the kitchen,
cookie dough was placed in the oven
for the afternoon break.
I believe in being honest and being
transparent. Is it possible for someone
to get a bad meal? Just like at home,
you bet, said Held. What we are con-
stantly developing is to have servers
look at the food and ask What are you
presenting and putting out? I agree
that presentation can be improved and
it is something that we are working on.
Most of the residents look forward
to their mealtimes; it is a highlight of
their day. They are sitting in the din-
ing room 15 minutes early, waiting for
their meals, said Elizabeth Oforiwaah,
Licensed Practical Nurse, at Sagewood.
When staff at Sagewood addressed
Mezaros concerns and made promises
to look into the communication break-
down and make improvements to the
food that led to her frustration, Mezaros
felt Sagewood was taking seriously the
health and welfare of the seniors in the
facility.
Many other Albertans, along with
Mezaros, are advocating for good food
for seniors. Wildrose Party Critic, Kerry
Towle challenged the Provincial gov-
ernment on June 4 to put an end to
the practice of trucking in pre-cooked
meals for seniors at care facilities.
An Alberta Union of Provincial Em-
ployees (AUPE) produced video fo-
cused on poor food given to seniors,
living in facilities that participate in the
Alberta Health Services recommended
21-day menu system. There are ques-
tions in the media whether the food is
nutritious, palatable and presented in
a way that will encourage seniors to
maintain good eating habits. Nutritious
and palatable food is a requirement in
the Long term Care Accommodations
Licensing Act.
Bruce Conway, media spokesper-
son for Alberta Health Services (AHS)
Health and Nutrition department said
the service is aware of things that need
to be improved.
We continue to listen and evolve
menus in facilities, Conway said. The
intention is to listen to people about
the foods they are being served.
The original plan surveyed 78 fa-
cilities to develop the 21-day menu in
2009. It was originally developed to
address the issue of poor food quality
and selection for seniors in facilities.
The AHS External Review of the Pro-
vincial Menu Program recommenda-
tions suggested small facilities of less
than 150 could band together to order
centralized food, through a supply ser-
vice already used by many restaurants
and facilities, that could boost buying
power and cut costs while supplying a
variety of new choices for seniors. They
recommended that the delivered foods
be supplemented with fresh foods and
baking be locally made or sourced.
They stated upfront the drawbacks
that may cause the plan to fail. Some
smaller facilities did not have the prop-
er freezers and defrosting equipment
to prepare the food. Some staff were
not trained to deal with the preparation
of the new menu choices. There were
breakdowns in communication with
some of the suppliers and delivery ser-
vices. There were technology challeng-
es that some homes could not meet.
As the program developed, savings did

not occur and a six percent increase in
costs occurred.
In response to those breakdowns,
AHS Health and Nutrition department
addressed the issues in 2010 and 2011,
by developing adjustments to the pro-
gram, surveys, inspections, taste test-
ing and culinary consulting services
accessible to each facility. The results
of those are listed on the AHS Health
and Nutrition website. The adjustments
were based on consultations with resi-
dents, family, staff and management in
26 nursing homes across Alberta.
What our residents and patients tell
us is they want more meat and pota-
toes, more soup and sandwich op-
tions, more local favorites and seasonal
menus based on local preference. To-
day, patients are offered these addi-
tional choices, and at least seven serv-
ings of fresh fruits and vegetables per
day, and for those with a sweet tooth,
a wider choice of dessert options. The
recommendations of the external re-
view verifed that patient and family in-
put was essential. This is why AHS con-
ducts patient food services satisfaction
surveys every six months. According to
the latest survey results completed in
March 2012, the overall satisfaction of
patients and residents is greater than
90 per cent, said Laura Tkach, Direc-
tor, Provincial Initiatives, Nutrition and
Food Services, AHS in a press release.

Planning for Strathmore Heritage Days going smoothly
Rebecca FRiesen
Times Contributor
With August coming closer, many Strath-
more residents are counting down the days
until Heritage Days begins, and plans are be-
ing fnalized.
Darcy Ledene, Strathmore & District Agri-
cultural Society General Manager, says this
years Strathmore Heritage Days Stampede is
going to have some new elements, some fan
favourites as well as some old traditions be-
ing brought back.
The freestyle motocross that has been en-
joyed in previous years is returning, Ledene
confrms. Theyre going to be doing some
performances for the crowds, says Ledene.
The motocross company Global FMX will be
entertaining crowds, proudly presented by
Strathmore Motor Sports.
Niki Cammaert-Flundra, trick rider, stunt
woman and horse entertainer will also be
coming back with a new performance that
Ledene said is receiving some great reviews
all over the rodeo world.
Ledene said the rodeo hasnt changed
since last year with their seven standard
events and three novice events, and still of-
fers great entertainment for the family, in-
cluding pony races.
The Encana stage will have some new and
old entertainers, such as a Bon Jovi tribute
act, Sebastian Steele the hypnotist, and local
talents that still have to be confrmed.
In the Encana 4-H arena, Ledene said there
will be mini chuckwagons, trick riders and a
new display of the last 100 years of agricul-
ture so people can see how it has evolved,
including a clean cattle liner.
The entire show is a lot of fun, we pride
ourselves on being the second largest CPRA
rodeo in Canada. We pride ourselves on be-
ing a major stop on the WPC Chuckwagon
tour, said Ledene.
Ledene says the Running with the Bulls
event, which is celebrating its 10th anniver-
sary, is another source of pride for Strath-
more.
Along with sunscreen, cowboy hats and
clothing for all types of weather, Ledene en-
courages people to bring their enthusiasm.
In order for [Heritage Days] to continue
to grow and evolve into a bigger and bet-
ter event, we do need the communitys sup-
port.
This is our largest fundraiser of the year,
Ledene reminds, all that the money that is
raised, which we hope is a lot, goes right
back into the community.
The Strathmore Heritages Days Stampede
begins on August 3 and runs until August
6. To purchase tickets, please either visit
the Strathmore AG offce or phone 403-934-
5811.
Taking things
to a new level
shannon LecLaiR

Anything they can do, she can do better.
That may not quite be 14-year-old Korrie
Stewarts motto, but its close. On July 8 at
the Calgary Stampede she was the only girl
to gear up and jump on the back of a steer
trying to hold on for the infamous eight sec-
onds.
She rode on Sunday and she timed better
than all the guys who were there and she
just rode beautiful, it was a beautiful ride,
said Gord Stewart, Korries father.
Were just happy she made it there and
she did a real good showing when she went.
The Stewart family, who live near Glei-
chen, are best known for their Hearts of the
West trick riding show.
While there isnt a rule or regulation that
restricts girls from participating in the buck-
ing classes, which includes bull riding, sad-
dle bronc and steer riding, its not something
thats seen often.
I hang out with the guys a lot, I just want-
ed to try what they did so I tried it and I re-
ally liked it, said Korrie.
Im going to move up to junior bulls and
to big bulls. I want to go big with it and go
to PBR (Pro Bull Riding).
Korrie, who began riding steers last year,
said it feels good to be setting an example
for other girls in the industry. Getting a
chance to show her stuff at the centennial
year of the Calgary Stampede, and to beat
out all of the guys she competed against
was also exciting for the teen.
Most of her training has come from the
advice of her friends, who are always will-
ing to give her a few tips and tricks.
Everywhere I go I pretty much know all
the guys so they just give me tips and tell
me what to do so I just listen to whoever is
there, said Korrie.
It hurts being thrown off the steer, and
she admits shes been stepped on a few
times, but Korrie has no fear when it comes
to riding and said nothing has been broken,
yet.
Korrie can be seen competing at the
Rockyford Rodeo which begins July 27.

The Strathmore Magic will play host
to the 2012 Senior B Woman Fast
Pitch Provincial Championship July 20-
22 at the Strathmore Ag Grounds Ball
Diamonds.
The Magic will open the tournament
on Friday when they battle the Red
Deer Panthers at 1 p.m., before tan-
gling with the Edmonton Warrior Pride
at 7 p.m.
Strathmore will then play the Calgary
Hawks on Saturday morning at 9 a.m.,
before facing the Canadian Xtreme at
3 p.m.
Meanwhile, Strathmore native Katie
Coulter and the Calgary Red Sox open
the tournament on Friday morning at
11 a.m. against the Calgary Hawks, be-
fore playing again at 3 p.m. against the
Calgary Hurricanes.
The defending champion Red Sox
will then face the Canadian Xtreme and
the Red Deer Panthers on Saturday at 9
a.m. and 1 p.m. respectively.
Im from Strathmore. I used to play
for the Magic and when I moved up
to seniors they stayed junior - this is
their frst year in senior so I went to
the city and found a new team and was
really happy with them so I stayed,
said Coulter. Its going to be a beauti-
ful weekend out and what better way
to spend it then sit in the sunshine and
have a cold drink and watch some ball.
I think its going to be a really close
tournament this year, all the teams have
kind of upped themselves a little bit.
It will be really entertaining ball to
watch this weekend.

The Bantam A Girls Fast Pitch
Provincials were held in Stony
Plain, July 13 - 15. Strathmores
U16 Boston Pizza Thunder team
dropped the frst two games to
Calgary and Lloydminster on Sat-
urday.
In both games coach Lanky
Johnson said the Thunder has the
bases loaded, with no one out in
the early innings yet were only
able to score one run.
Johnson said the reason the
girls only scored the one run was
because of failing to get the big
jump when you have the chance to
break a game wide open, normally
and did end up having us lose all
momentum in both games.
Later on Saturday, Thunder made
a comeback playing two impres-
sive games, one taking down Red
Deer 6-0 and the other against Ed-
monton ending 8-0.
You could not ask for two bet-
ter games played by the girls, said
Johnson.
The wins helped eliminate Red
Deer and Edmonton, while push-
ing Thunder into the fnal four
playoff round along with River
City, Lloydminster and Calgary.
Sundays playoff were postponed
and rescheduled to July 21 due to
rain.
The four remaining teams have
all guaranteed themselves post
provincial play, which Johnson
said is great for the locals.
It is much better having earned
the right to play in Western Cana-
dian Championships in Strathmore
Aug 9-12, than just being in it as a
host team, said Johnson.
Team members are Shae Lane,
Alyssa Lavallee, Jessica Murphy,
Kirstyn Johnson, Payton Bevill,
Shania Carataga, Shayla Klein,
Shelby Leavitt, Sara Lightbown, Ju-
lia Lindal and Allison Nowell.
Coached and managed by Lanky

vallee and Amanda Howard a local
star in the game herself, with nu-
merous USA college awards.
